Message	I have been hot on the trail of the use of my image since LJZTT emailed me this morning. Thanks to "zgene4" for posting a link to a fellow Z/G fans honest attempt to use a, if I do say so myself, a beautiful car and image to spice up an otherwise not so beautiful monitor ad. I am not mad at the Overstock.com employee by the name of Steve Choi, rather the user member "BobbyZ" from the ChicagoZ.com forum for not having the sense to perhaps ask me first before posting. Regardless of the mistake I am still speaking with the Overstock.com employee to settle the matter of compensation for my image that was illegally used in a online for sale ad. This is not to say that I am not honored that he chose my image. Regards, Kris Snow [ www.krissnowphotography.com ] SIG is not up to date Yes, I am an anal retentive detail-oriented Virgo... :-P - TT XTZ 11/01/05 08:27:09 The ricer isle is equivalent to the feminine hygiene product isle in the grocery store...real men just don't belong there. -BradZ (FL) 01/09/06 19:53:19
